Patient's question:
When taking a shower, I noticed that my private area had become very rough, and recently I've been feeling itchy all the time, especially when I'm at work, it's really embarrassing. Is my condition vulvar leukoplakia? Please ask: Is vulvar leukoplakia treatable? How much does it generally cost?Doctor's answer:
Hello, leukoplakia of the vulva is a disease caused by nutritional disorders of the vulvar skin and mucosa, leading to local tissue degeneration and loss of pigmentation. It is a condition where the skin and mucosa become white, rough, or swollen, and it may recur. It is recommended to maintain cleanliness and dryness, stop using soap and other irritating drugs for washing, avoid spicy and irritating foods, corticosteroid ointments, or surgical treatment. Vulvar leukoplakia is a gynecological disease that is prone to recurrence. During medication, women should pay attention to their own care, especially in terms of hygiene. It is advised that patients pay close attention to maintaining vulvar cleanliness, changing underwear frequently. Finally, we wish female patients a speedy recovery!
